| - I can't believe how many times I passed this little place in the last few years. I worked 5 minutes away from this place and never stopped. I remember thinking chicken strips? What? Boo! Instead of stopping at BFG, I ate at several other mediocre spots in the area. Shame on me for being a HATER!
A few weeks ago, one of my coworkers had lunch at her desk and it smelled terrific. I peeked in, and asked what she was eating. She told me she was eating grilled chicken and veggies from BFG. She then proceeded to tell me that you can order your chicken baked, fried, or grilled. I then made it a point to review it on yelp and noticed all the wonderful reviews this place received.
This past weekend, my family and I wanted to try something different. I suggested BFG, and off we went. At this point, I still didn't put it together that the place I was searching for was the same place I dissed time and time again.
When we pulled up, I was like oh -this place? We ran in because it was freezing cold outside, and ordered the family special.
We ordered 10 fried strips, 5 baked, and 5 grilled. I can't even make an argument on which version was better. I loved them all equally--just like my kids! The baked chicken was seasoned perfectly, and no dipping sauces were needed. I added a dash of hot sauce to the grilled chicken and I was in heaven. The best thing about eating the fried strips was the Chile sauce that was available for dipping. Oh man-that was good!
The sides were good too! The baked mac n cheese was done perfectly, and the fries were crispy and delicious. The garlic bread was mediocre, but who cares! I have never seen my kids eat so fast....
Co-owner Matt was super friendly and even gave us a sample of their chicken nachos to try! He mentioned that they were starting to cater on the side. Immediately, my wife booked him for our daughter's birthday in February. Oh, and my Son's birthday in April! Sorry Matt--you asked for it!
I love this place! Chicken strips at their best!
